Ökofrost GmbH

Ökofrost is a model company in the field of organic frozen food, founded in 1996 and based in Berlin. As a specialized wholesaler, they supply the organic retail, organic wholesale, and food retail sectors with a comprehensive range of organic frozen products.

Ökofrost offers three of its own brands:

• BioPolar: Since 2006 known for regionally typical recipes and transparent origin information, often in collaboration with small, traditional craft businesses.
• BioCool: Launched in 2010, this range includes everyday foods such as leaf spinach, ready meals, and chocolate ice cream.
• Wildzeit: The youngest brand, since 2021, specializing in sustainable wild fish products that are caught according to strict Naturland guidelines to ensure mindful handling of ecosystems and social working conditions[2][4][5].

Ökofrost is committed to a new economic ethics that prioritizes the healthy development of people, society, and the environment. Instead of competition and profit maximization, humanity, solidarity, and ecological sustainability are the focus. The company has been part of the Common Good Economy movement since 2012 and is committed to the Common Good Economy model[1][2][4].

Ökofrost is intensively committed to sustainability:

• Climate Neutrality: Since 2021, the company and its products have been certified climate neutral. CO2 emissions that cannot be reduced are offset through reforestation and wind energy projects[4].
• Reduction of Food Waste: Organic frozen food helps minimize food waste as it is longer-lasting and portionable.
• Transparency and Quality: Ökofrost places great importance on transparency and quality. QR codes on the packaging provide detailed information about the products and their production[4].
• Social Responsibility: The company promotes flexible working hours, home office, part-time work, and women in leadership positions. A transparent salary model and self-organization according to the Holacracy principle are further important aspects of the corporate culture[1][2][4].

Ökofrost is characterized by an innovative and social corporate culture. Self-organization and flexible working models enable employees to work autonomously with purpose. Women receive equal pay for equal work, and the company particularly supports single mothers in balancing work and childcare[1][2][4].

Ökofrost is thus not only a pioneer in organic frozen food but also a role model for ethical and sustainable business practices.
